No one is saying having kids is a walk in the park for either gender in a heterosexual relationship, but come on. Men don't spend as much time as women thinking about the consequences of having a child because they don't have to. They don't mentally map out when is the right time to have kids to be successful in their…

At one point, she asked if he would consider quitting his job to be a stay-at-home father given how much he wanted a baby. "That just wasn't the plan he had in mind," she said.

Have to disagree there - it still refers to a woman's genitals over here in Blighty, so not sure why people think it isn't gendered.

No, that is not how she is. I'm sure you mean well, but I have a selective mutism specialist working with her who would not agree that she is self-aggrandizing. She has been this way since infancy.

This is hard for me. I definitely suffer from the failure-related anxiety, but I don't think it was a result of thinking I was really smart - more from thinking that I'm not when my logical brain knows I'm no idiot. So actually I feel like for me that if I had been told more that I could do things, I might have…

To clarify point 'B', does the black friend actually have to be aware of your existence? I ask, because I've known a couple of people claiming to have black friends, when what they meant was that they work in a building that has a black person in it, or they got their car fixed by a black mechanic ("he's really quite…

Um, can you correct this. Racist Reporter gets himself fired for comparing Michelle Obama to an ape.

"She will play a character named Michelle Bachman. Her character will be an outspoken critic of Shark N.A.T.O. an international organization created to deal with the increasing threat of Selachimorpha / meteorological phenomena. She opposes Shark N.A.T.O. and would prefer that U.S. dollars stay in the U.S. to fight…

Other alarming phrases include, but are not limited to, "Social Justice Warriors", "real haters", and "precious trigger words".

That said, I am a member of the privileged class, so what the hell do I know?

No one says you have to be perfect. Also, no one is going to kiss your ass and hold your hand while you undo 30+ years of sexist conditioning. That is on you to do, buddy. He's a newbie at this, and got corrected. His first reaction was to get all defensive. Why? If feminists who are working in this struggle corrected…

Based on your previous statement, you believe feminists are supposed to offer incentives being an ally. Apparently working for a better world with equality for all is not incentive enough. So, yeah, you're either interested in the cookies, ass kissing, or the free pass, or all of thee above. No one wants an ally with…

I feel the same way about that term.
awwwwwwwwhatever's sentiments are common here, I suppose, but they usually remain gray, or receives a lot of ridicule when ungreyed. BUT I've only ever seen it under posts about women ... now it's under a post about a man and of all of the thread OPs, it's the most starred at 90…

I hear you.

I would respond, but a comment higher up with the sentence "Try not to alienate your friends when they accidentally use your precious trigger words, or they won't be around to have your back," has already received 20 stars; i'm exhausted and am realizing this just isn't the place for me.

I'm not saying men can't be good and worthy allies. But without the lived experience of a woman, you're missing a fundamental aspect of being a feminist.

Why is Arnim Zola in charge of a school? Was HYDRA doing budget cuts? What a moron.

Holy shit, there's a lot of bullshit in your post. I'll address one part of it, I'm sure other people here will address the rest.

Because, unlike circumcision, Female Genital Mutilation serves no hygienic purpose, is often performed in unsanitary and unsafe conditions, removes more than just skin, and exists solely to subjugate and control women. The primary purpose of FGM is two-fold: remove the clitoris to remove pleasure from sex and to take…
